Saxby Chambliss, the Republican senator from Georgia, will not seek re-election in 2014, a GOP source said today.

A conservative voice in the upper chamber since 2002, Chambliss recently drew the ire of some activists to his right who took issue with his support for bipartisan compromise. He was a member of the "Gang of Six," which tried in 2011 to strike a bipartisan deal on reducing the federal debt. For more on this story, read CNN's Political Ticker.

He is leaving because he compromised folks. The right does not like it when Washington finally works. Compromise the dirty word for republicans, we have been stagnant for 4 years, he should be patted on the back for doing what is expected of him, move our govenment to solutions not obstructionism.

Sadly you are right. I have been a registered Republican for many years, and this current party is horrible. It is filled with too many radicals who are living in la la land, and refuse to realize not all of us are going to follow like blind little drones.

Sure, maybe you will be happy if all the Republicans will be gone from the government so that the Democratic Party can have absolute power and turn our country in a happy go lucky Europe. Can't wait to see when the Democratic will come up with an elaborate skim to have a mandated "Enviornmental Tax" on all electrical equipment and cars produced and sold in the USA, just like Canada.
